Chapter 560 Time is almost up
Meanwhile, inside a house on the shore of Black Lake.
Compared to the solemnity and formality of the Kings' Meeting, the pirate generals seemed much more casual. The "Star Admiral" was absent, the "Disease Vice Admiral" was arrested and absent, and the remaining five sat together, not getting along well with each other.
"Twilight, why are you on my turf again?"
"Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea," Hal Constantine asked coldly.
His face was very peculiar, resembling a semi-transparent, palm-sized octopus. Around his chin were a dozen or so slippery tentacles that drooped down to near his chest. His hair, similar in shape to the tentacles, was dark blue and black, round and thick, cascading over his shoulders. Apart from these features, the rest of the "Deep Sea Admiral's" body, including his hands, was shrouded in a black cloak.
According to rumors, this ruthless and bloodthirsty pirate general had sea monster blood, which is why he had such an unusual appearance.
"The Earl said that the five seas are a paradise for pirates, and I am free to go wherever I want."
"Twilight Admiral" Ivan Blatov was quite tall, and the wooden chair beneath him creaked under his weight as he moved. He remained unfazed by the "Deep Sea Admiral's" questions.
"Stop talking nonsense, take your fleet and get out of here. I don't want to see your face again."
"You want me to leave? Fine, as long as you satisfy my curiosity."
"Admiral Twilight," Blatov Ivan chuckled softly, "I really want to know, what exactly is your ship searching for as it keeps diving deeper and deeper? Is it that treasure that happens to share the same name as your flagship, the legendary Lost Nuins?"
?

Upon hearing this name, the other three generals all turned their attention to it.
I'll say it again, it's none of your business.
"Vice Admiral Deep Sea" remained unmoved and calm, saying, "Otherwise, I'll have to ask the Earl to make the final decision."
"OK."
"Then let's follow the rules and have a fight in the presence of the Count. The loser will grant the other one a request," said Ivan Blatov.
He seemed quite confident about winning the fight.

""
Constantine looked at him coldly, without answering.
"It's like this again. You're really afraid of your ship's secrets being leaked, aren't you? You won't even give me the slightest chance."
"Twilight Admiral" smiled, then turned to the silent female pirate general beside him. "Iceberg," he said, "I heard you've had a big haul lately, getting your hands on the Key to Death."
In the legends of treasures at sea, "The Lost Newin" only ranks fifth, while "The Key of Death" is undoubtedly number one.
"Are you serious?"
"Iceberg Admiral" Edwina was originally full of curiosity about that lost civilization, but that feeling has been ruined by the other party. "How could the key to death be obtained so easily? I haven't figured out the origin of that key yet, but if you really want it, I can sell it to you as long as the price is right."
"Then forget it."
"It seems Señor's second mate died in vain," Ivan Blatov shrugged, glancing deliberately at the "Blood General" sitting to the side.
According to rumors at sea, "Iron" Maivit, the second mate of "Blood Admiral," was attacked by a powerful adventurer while pursuing relevant clues. Not only did he fail to obtain the Death Key, but he also sacrificed his head in exchange for the bounty.
"Blood General" Señor remained completely unconcerned, still smiling broadly, as if he wasn't the one being mocked by "Twilight General".
"It's rare to see you so calm."
"Hell Admiral!" Ludwell exclaimed upon seeing this. Although he was wearing a mask and his face was obscured, his surprise was palpable in his tone. The other pirate generals shared similar thoughts.
They all knew that Señor's pirate crew was a peripheral organization of the "Rose School," and that they always preferred indulging their desires. In the past, after being mocked, he would vent his emotions without restraint, responding with furious attacks.
"Heh... I don't mind at all."
"Blood Admiral" Señor chuckled and looked up. His gaze swept across the room, his eyes fixed on the dead. He continued with a laugh, "Anyway, you're all going to be finished soon."
Although his words were calm, the malice in his tone was so strong and so obvious that all the generals present clearly felt it.
"Damn vengeful spirit, how dare you curse me!"
"Twilight General" Ivan Blatov was the first to fly into a rage, standing up and cursing. The chair he was sitting on finally gave way and shattered into pieces of wood with a crash.
"Señor, what do you mean by that?"
"Hell Admiral" Ludwell's voice was icy, and a translucent light flowed across the surface of his mask. "Deep Sea" and "Iceberg" remained silent, but their expressions revealed equally fury.
The four pirate generals' discontent was simultaneously directed at Señor.
However, this middle-ranking member of the "Rose School" simply smiled. He offered no explanation, instead taking a pocket watch from his pocket, snapping it open, glancing at it, and saying, "It's almost time."
Immediately afterwards—
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
A high-pitched, terrified scream suddenly came from outside the house, accompanied by the horrific sounds of bodies being torn apart and blood splattering, as well as the hurried footsteps of someone running to the door.
"Captain! Something terrible has happened!"
The voice belonged to Blue Walls, the first mate of "Iceberg Admiral." His voice was trembling with fear and distortion. "Trees have grown on Black Lake Island!"
Tree?
Didn't this island originally have trees?
The pirate generals didn't react for a moment, but Edwina seemed to have realized something, and her expression changed slightly.
"Be careful!"
Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone shout behind her, followed by a bone-chilling gust of wind that blew into her body, causing her to instantly lose control of her entire body.
It's "possessed by an evil spirit"!
Señor attacked me from behind...
Edwina Edwards swiftly retaliated, tiny specks of light rapidly appearing around her. Then, her eyes began to shine, shimmering with flowing gold like a bright sun.
"Imitation" of "Sun Exorcism"!
"brush!"
The warmth of the sunlight instantly dispelled the chill, and the vengeful spirit had already left her body before being swallowed by the light, rushing outside, passing through Blue Walls' body, and leaving the room.
Señor had originally planned to escape!
Several pirate generals chased after him and ran out. When they saw the scene outside, they were all greatly shocked.
